Sevens rugby's the fuckin' worst. The Fijians, Samoans and South Africans think that every point they score was preordained and decreed by Baby Jesus. As if He's taking time out of His busy schedule to advance their careers.

What is it with that Pacific Island crowd, anyway? Even the ones that have been co-opted by Japan, the USA, etc. keep pointing to the sky.

FFS, Baby Jesus is watching HOCKEY!

Dave Allen at Large! Brilliant! I remember dad would send my little sisters to bed when he came on the telly, but I'd get to stay up and watch.

Pretty new to me, I don't think too many people over our way have heard of him. And very glad I came across him

His show was often on PBS when I was a kid - or at least, the Seattle version of PBS that we had in Vancouver. Dave Allen, Monty Python, and Fawlty Towers are the main three UK imports I remember enjoying with my parents (themselves UK imports!) around the mid 80s. But while most of my friends knew Monty Python a few years later, only a few were familiar with Dave Allen.
